Preparing Students for a Future Yet To Be Invented

Why Invention Education?
More About InventEd

Our children face a future of new, more demanding, and increasingly complex problems

Solving these problems will require agile thinkers with diverse perspectives and life experiences, and an ability to identify and acquire the new, yet unknown knowledge needed to operate and create tomorrow’s technologies and industries. At the same time, our educational system risks growing increasingly out of step with the needs of life and work in the 21st century. Invention Education offers a powerful approach to bridge this gap.
